Ingredients

Can you freeze it?
Yes, you can freeze it in an airtight container or in a freezer-safe container. Whenever you want to have it take it out from the refrigerator 1 hour prior or you can have it chilled as well.
Variations
- I have prepared this sheer khurma recipe without condensed milk, I have used milk powder instead of it.
- I have used thin vermicelli, also known as seviyan. If you have thick vermicelli you can use it that too.
- I have used full cream milk, it is rich and creamy dessert. so i would suggest you use full cream milk for thick consistency.
- If you don’t have fresh dates you can use dry dates as well.
- For flavouring, you can use Kesar strands, cardamom powder, rose water and kewra water.
Step by step recipe
Soak the dry fruits in the water for 2-3 hours. I have soaked almonds, cashews, pistachios and dry dates.
Chop the soaked dry fruits.
In a pan heat clarified butter or ghee then add chopped dry fruits and lotus seeds (makhane). roast it on medium flame until golden.
When the dry fruits are roasted, transfer it to a plate. then in the same pan add clarified butter or ghee and then add vermicelli.
Roast the vermicelli on medium flame.
when vermicelli and dry fruits are roasted, keep it aside. Now in a heavy bottom pan add milk and boil it on medium flame by stirring occasionally.
When the milk is boiled and it starts to thicken then add roasted dry fruits, cardamom powder and milk powder. Stir continuously, so that no lumps are formed.
when dry fruits and milk powder is assorted then add roasted vermicelli and Mix it gently, don’t mash it.
when vermicelli is mixed, then add sugar. Mix gently. To get desired consistency add 1 to 2 cup milk if it becomes too much thick.but i have not added extra milk, if you want you can do it.
Cook it on low flame until vermicelli noodle becomes soft and sugar gets melt and mixed. When it gets cool down it will get thicker, so make sure you don’t overcook it.
